The United States will tighten control over the export of nuclear and missile technologies to Russia

The US Department of Commerce is moving Russia into a group of countries of concern for exporting nuclear and missile technologies. Now, export to Russia of sensitive goods is almost the same as in North Korea or Iraq, reports RBC.

US authorities have decided to lower the status of Russia in terms of exports of American sensitive goods and technologies. Russia will be transferred to the category of D countries of concern regarding the export of nuclear and missile technologies, follows from the amendments to the country classification of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS, a division of the US Department of Commerce), which will enter into force on February 24.

Now Russia is labeled A by the export parameters of nuclear and missile technologies, like the vast majority of Western countries.

“The rule moves Russia from a more favorable to a less favorable regime, reflecting concerns about the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies,” the BIS document says.

As a result of these amendments, the United States will no longer issue licenses for the export to Russia of materials that can be used to make chemical or biological weapons, technologies dangerous from the point of view of nuclear proliferation, and rocket technologies (including ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, probes, and also unmanned systems - cruise missiles, reconnaissance drones, etc.)

Americans are prohibited from supplying such systems to Russia. As an exception, the export and re-export to Russia of goods supporting civilian cooperation between Russia and the United States in the space sector or commercial missile launches may be permitted in individual cases.

In general, the US administration is consistently withdrawing space cooperation with Russia from the scope of the sanctions (in particular, because the US continues to purchase RD-180 rocket engines in Russia and use the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to deliver its astronauts to the ISS).

After the entry into force of the new rules, Russia will become a country that will be practically unable to officially purchase in the United States not only nuclear and missile technologies, but also goods controlled by the National Security criterion (avionics, gas turbines, calibration equipment, etc.). ) These shipments from the USA to Russia were limited in 2018.

From this point of view, an even tougher US export regime applies only to North Korea, Iraq, Libya and Venezuela. The US Department of Commerce explains the downgrade of Russia by the fact that new export restrictions “will reduce the risk that goods and technologies can be redirected [from Russia to other countries], can contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the military potential of countries of concern from a point of view US National Security. ”

The ban on the export of certain goods to Russia also "underlines the seriousness with which the United States treats the use of the novice agent Novichok in 2018 in the UK" (Russian authorities reject the version of their involvement in the poisoning of ex-GRU officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia).

Russia “refuses to cooperate and allow BIS to conduct checks prior to issuing export licenses to Russia and to verify the use of goods of American origin after they have been delivered,” explains the US Department of Commerce bureau.

In general, merchandise imports to Russia from the United States in 2019 amounted to $ 13,2 billion, follows from the data of the FCS. But it is assumed that sensitive from the point of view of nuclear or missile proliferation, US national security, goods are already delivered to Russia only in small quantities.

Most of all, Russia imports from the United States the goods of the Nuclear Reactors, Boilers, Equipment and Mechanical Devices group ($ 1,8 billion), Ground Transportation Means ($ 1,7 billion) and Pharmaceutical Products ($ 1,2 billion).
